So, we did have to stop. We also had a time limit of 51 minutes, after that there were penalties and if someone came in over 61 minutes, they were disqualified. Posted speed limits were anywhere from 25 to 50 MPH and we had to average the speed limit or closely under if we wanted to make time. So, it was very much so a real world test. I took 3rd place in division 2 with 85 MPG (91 MPG before penalties). Jim,

What were the rules of the road, so to speak. How did the judges decide on who had what, ect? What was the top speed of the overall winners in each catagory and did they have to make any stops and starts or just a beginning to end type of course? Thanks, Jim Hello:
